Easy to care for and very peaceful. I’ve kept it in a 30-gallon tank with corals for six months and it hasn’t caused any issues. It’s active but not aggressive, and the fish looks healthy.

Great addition to a reef tank. It’s calm and doesn’t bother the corals. I’m a first-time reef keeper and found it easy to set up and maintain.

The fish has adapted well to the tank environment. It’s small but interesting to watch. I appreciate that it’s peaceful and doesn’t need much attention.
